If you're looking for convenience, a basic $30 (USD) lockbox (example[1]) from a hardware store is an easy way, albeit without much extra security. Whoever cleans up between guests can change the code. That's what I stuck with when I was renting my house short-term. There was always a risk that a guest could copy the key and come back a month later, but I felt like I would rather live with that risk than pay $100+ for a smart lock and potentially make myself an easily visible target for a simple hack. If some teenage hackers looking to cause mischief took a hammer or spray paint to the interior, they could easily have cost me more than a hypothetical burglar walking away with the TV and other electronics.
